Robin Hood
Robin Hood | David B Coe
2 posts | 2 read
Oscar(R) winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured through out popular mythology. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of worldpower. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people. Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard's army. Upon Richard's death, Robin travels toNottingham, a town suffering from a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Oscar(R) winner Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest.Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff. With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king, and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return glory to England once more.

Mehso-so

There's probably only three reasons to read this:
- You're a fan of Coe (the author)
- You're a fan of Robin Hood (the character)
- You're a fan of 'Robin Hood' (the Scott/Crowe film)

It wasn't great but it was worth reading once since I fall into the last two categories.

This was a nice version of Robin Hood. It‘s much more realistic. I loved the chemistry between Robin and Marian. Not at all like the previous romances in Robin Hood books. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. #historicalFiction#fiction#adventure#undertheradar
